PROMO: Welcome to Paradise by Rosalind James

Welcome to Paradise

By Rosalind James

Contemporary Romance

Date Published: 4/12/13

Synopsis:

By the bestselling author of the Escape
to New Zealand series—

They’re going to party like it’s 1885.

Mira Walker is hoping that competing
on a “living history” reality show will give her what’s missing from
her real life. Maybe she’ll get closer to her boyfriend, who hasn’t
been all that nice to her lately. Get fired up about her job again.
Who knows, she might even win a million dollars.

Gabe Kincaid and his brother Alec are
after that million too, though. Mira and Scott are no threat at all,
not when everybody involved is going to want to kill Scott after the
first day. And there’s no bond stronger than a twin’s. What could
possibly go wrong?

A couple spaces beyond, a young
woman stood next to a glossy black BMW with its door open, her
gaze turned up to the eastern skyline. Gabe could see why. The
view was tinted with a rose pink that lay softly over the mountains,
giving them an almost ethereal glow.

She sensed his presence behind him,
turned with a warm smile that was a perfect complement to the
light bathing the landscape behind her. “Alpenglow,” she told him
happily.

“What?” he asked stupidly.

“That’s what they call that pink thing.
Alpenglow. Isn’t it beautiful?”

“Yeah,” he smiled slowly. “It sure is.”

She nodded, looked back at the
mountains with a sigh, leaving Gabe free to take in the view that
interested him most. She wasn’t especially slim—in fact, she was
downright . . .rounded. Arms, breasts, hips, it was all there, all
the good stuff. A nicely defined waist, too, in a slightly crumpled
short-sleeved summer dress that flared out at the hem. Long,
shiny brown hair caught on the side of her head in a simple braid
that reached nearly to her hips, ended in a curly tail. All right,
she was attractive. A pretty face, nice hair, a beautiful smile, but
she certainly wasn’t gorgeous. So why was he staring at her?

“Cute,” Alec said quietly beside him.

“Yeah.” Gabe gave himself a shake and
began to turn away.

“Hey.” The man was striding quickly
across the parking lot. Light brown hair, parted neatly. Slim and
tall, somewhere between Gabe’s six foot and Alec’s six-two. And,
Gabe realized, the same asshole who’d flipped them off earlier,
at the light. Frowning, now, as he came to join the woman. “What
are you doing? I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Sorry,” she said. “I was just looking at
the view.”

“Did you get the car cleaned out?”

“Not yet.”

He sighed impatiently. “I’ve got all our
stuff inside already, and unpacked, while you’ve been standing
here. Could you get a move on, please? I want to go to dinner.”

“Sorry,” she said again. “It’s just so
beautiful.”

The man smiled tightly, still not
acknowledging Gabe or Alec, who had come up to stand beside
his brother and watch the pair. “All I’m asking for is a bit of focus
here, sweetie. Eyes on the prize, remember? Can you do that for
me?”

“Of course,” she said. Gabe could
see the flush spreading up her cheeks, her embarrassment at
the reproof in front of strangers. Not his business, he reminded
himself.

None of his business at all.
